Exploring Life, Passion & Money

New Series: Life Soundtrack – August

So when I turned 28 in July, I vowed to be more open about my passions in life. #2 after God – MUSIC.

I love to sing, write it, listen to it, dance to it when no one’s watching me and be healed by it. So, I decided to share ten songs each month that I have on repeat or whatever I’m listening to at the time I type these posts lol. Enjoy!

I love this song so much, I play it almost everyday. There’s simply comfort in knowing that my God is holding my future and I don’t have to worry about it. He’s ordering my footsteps to get me to my expected end.

The Way by Pat BarrettI originally heard this song through Housefires, which Pat Barrett is a part of. However, it’s more of a free worship atmosphere – not conducive for radio play lol. So my guy took his own song, got himself a solo album, and made this radio edit that is clearly a hit. Every time I get in the car, it’s playing. It’s annoying. lol

Simply one of my favorite worship songs. I woke up one morning earlier this month and it was on my mind. I haven’t listened to this album since it came out. It’s been on repeat since that morning.

Dwell by David & Nicole BinionListened to the whole album on Spotify and was reminded why I loved Nicole Binion so much. Such a great worshiper. This album features Travis Greene, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, BJ Putnam and William McDowell – all of whom I love individually.

I love this guy man. PJ kills. Every time. He was raised in the church, yes. But he ventured on and did his own thing, bless his heart, and I love him still lol. The whole album is good. It’s just smooth, reflective. And I’m a music junkie so I thoroughly enjoy the musicality of the album and just PJ in general.

Let’s be real now. I’m only including this song because she died this month – as are a bunch of other people! Ya’ll haven’t listened to Aretha since 1995 and only think about her when she’s included in a movie soundtrack you like – but you didn’t hear that from me……moving on…..

I actually did come to the remembrance of this Aretha version through one of my favorite movies, The Holiday, and have listened to it several times in this year.
